Since your grades are good, go to college. Apply for scholarships, student loans, and have your parents help you if they can. College is NOTHING like high school life. It is 100% better. You are not in a popularity competition. You are taking classes on a subject that you are interested in. The way they teach is less mind numbing because they treat you like an adult. Plus, the people that you meet are going to have similar interests as you. You also have the opportunity to live anywhere in the U.S. and become more worldly. Besides, skipping college when so many of your peers are attending is going to leave you living in dumps managed by slum lords and shopping for clothes off the sale rack at WalMart. It's not worth it. Neither is living at your BF's parents house. I know you are unhappy at home. So if you are going to move out, do it the right way. This is a win-win situation for you. Your parents will respect you and you are doing something positive for yourself. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do it or hold you back. There are no free rides in life and without a good education, you have the potential of struggling to make ends meet for years, or even worse, latching onto some guy that may not be able to offer you a good future either. Be self sufficient so that you don't have to answer to anyone. But that starts with a good education. In the meantime, keep your grades up, mind your curfew, and understand you can't change your parents. You can only learn to deal with the discomfort. It's only a little longer before you graduate so just hang in there and focus on your amazing future.

 I think you need to wait till you 18 and I don't really want you to do a bad choice I want you to know your parents would accept you the way you are you have to make sure you know wat you doing
in this country most of teenager want to leave their parents house when they are 18 so girl I wish you good luck cause nobody would support you the same way as your parent no matter what they really care about you
Think really hard before you make a big decision like this maybe later you wont regret

 your 17 maybe you can wait a few more month till you turn 18 than you will be consider over age and your parents can't legally hold you back. Always remember your parents will always love you and is there duty as parents to provide for you this is not anyone else obligation but your parents, so even though your boyfriend's parents are ok with this responsibility how long do you think you living there might become a burden and you out stay your welcome. Reconsider it for a few more months :)
